FELIX RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Absolute pleasure on all counts. The bread with burnt butter is a must. The kingfish, and mushroom tartare entree were excellent. The lamb and steak mains were on point. Sarah exceeded all expectations with her service delivery. She didn't miss a beat with water and everything else. The atmosphere is lovely. Highly recommend and we will be back.

Came to Felix on the recommendation of friends (who took me along). The venue and atmosphere are stunning, and the service was excellent. Knowledgable staff, who were happy to talk wine pairings and other things about the food. Would highly recommend!

Amazing food and atmosphere! Enjoyed the most amazing cocktails and mocktails, followed by delicious food. We especially loved the ciabatta and zucchini orzo! Shout out to Amber for her fantastic service and recommendations.

BISTROT PLUME REVIEWS

Hidden gem in town. Can tell the staff is treated by heart. Tried the 3 courses lunch. Sourdough bread was nice. Entrée was good. The main course King Dory my wife was sensitively felt a bit fishy but I think it's good. Dessert was well balanced in sweet and sour. And lastly, a smooth coffee makes my lunch a full note. P.S. Added an off-menu special dessert - Warm chocolate tart with ice-cream(or sherbet. Can't remember) for sharing. It's also fabulous. Have to look for street parking in the surrounding area. Suggest making a reservation even on lunch time.

Honestly one of the best meals I’ve had. Period. Highlights- duck liver parfait, tiger prawns with prosciutto butter-(next level), steak to die for. Excellent wine selection. Staff were amazing. Cannot wait to return!

Food was excellent, lovely friendly service with perfect amount of attention. Everything was perfectly cooked & seasoned. Would recommend & return. Thanks for an outstanding dinner.

CLARIBEAUX REVIEWS

Beautiful, rich, indulgent food. Lovely pairing of flavors and full bodied dishes. Stunning venue with a ‘warm’ feel to the dining room. All the dishes were stunningly thought out with much care and attention put into serving and preparing the food.

One of the best culinary experiences in Victoria. The quality of the food is well worth the price. We stayed at the Curlewis golf course accommodation and dined here for dinner. Wonderful experience. Cant wait to return!!

I’m in love with this place. The food was impeccable, the service was lovely. Quick, yummy and reasonably priced, everything you could ask for in a dinner experience.
